Well Tim, I believe most civilized countries try to accommodate immigrants, I would be surprised if there were a huge difference in immigration quotas between countries. My guess is that both the UK and USA require people to get on a waiting list, and prove they have enough money to support themselves while they settle in to their new country. Once they "get in", I imagine that neither the Brit nor the Yank would have too much difficulty adapting to their new country. Our California governor holds active citizenship in two countries, Austria and the USA . Mark-

Indeed - the best thing to do with a thread like this is to just keep out. So what's your excuse, eh? You've just jumped in to make an irritating comment in a thread with far too many irritating personal comments. What was the point? Rowland. P.S. zoara, you seem to think that I do not understand what Jim was on about. That is rather patronising of you. Perhaps you'd do better to hand out your advice to Jim? After all, he does need to learn to control his behaviour here, doesn't he? -- Remove the animal for email address: rowland.mcdonnell(a)dog.physics.org Sorry - the spam got to me http://www.mag-uk.org http://www.bmf.co.uk UK biker?
